On her third all-instrumental solo album, Alison Brown follows in the footsteps of Bela Fleck by liberating the banjo from its usual bluegrass and string-band context to juxtapose it with trap drums, keyboards and other unexpected instruments. Like Fleck, Brown often slows down her attack on the banjo so the melodic shape and tonal quality of individual phrases can be better appreciated. This invitation to closer scrutiny is justified by Brown's rare ability to control both the percussive and harmonic qualities of each note on the banjo. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Not your Grandpa's banjo music........1998-11-06

This is just a wonderful album. A fusion of easy jazz, bluegrass and music from various parts of the planet. It seems as though this would be a difficult thing to do but Alison Brown pulls it off wonderfully. The end result is very different style of music. You are never going to hear this on commercial radio since they would never be able to catagorize it. This is a great album. I can listen to it over and over.

    5 out of 5 stars Great for home and classroom.......1999-03-21

    No other composer so closely kept his fingers on the pulse of American thinking and gave the country so much of what it thought it wanted. "Yiddle on Your Fiddle" tells us more of the second-generation immigrants' desire to become Americanized than all the history and sociology books can ever do. So it is a double pleasure to announce the appearance of "Come on and Hear!: Early Songs by Irving Berlin, 1909-1915" and "Keep on Smiling: Songs by Irving Berlin, 1915-1918," two fantastic CDs or tapes on Oaktown label and released through a friendly little Connecticut company calling itself Original Cast Records. Between the two sets, you have 41 tracks of the Berlin output from "Everybody's Doing It Now" to "We're on Our Way to France." The soloist is Benjamin Sears, who with pianist Bradford Conner has something of a reputation around the Boston area. Now some of this material is duplicated by the more widely known Joan Morrison on two RCA Victor releases, possibly out of print by now; and like those discs could use another voice now and then. (Conner does join in where a duet is called for, but my point remains.) Sears is a capable if not an outstanding baritone, who does justice to these historic expressions of Americana. So not only do I recommend both of these sets for their enjoyment value, but I wish to continue to point out to Social Studies teachers how valuable sets like this would be to classes who have no concept of how people really felt (as opposed to what they merely said and did) "way back when." And I might even stick out my neck so far as to offer to come to any school (in reasonable distance of where I live) to give a sample lesson on how these sets can be used.

      Frank Vignola--a classy, mainstream guitarist. Or crass purveyor of cheesy fusion? As with Kenny Garrett's recent outings, this is a disc likely to blindside anyone who's liked Vignola's tasteful traditional guitar-playing in the past. If peppy synth-laden grooves are your thing, however, dig in. Most jazz fans will hate this kind of sonic glurge with a passion, though.

        Feeney's eclectic mix of reggae, bluegrass, roots, salsa, jazz, swing, country and rock 'n roll is intended as a love letter to free form community radio stations that feature diverse programming ... the title tune "Look to the Left" (of the dial) sets up the theme. Fabulous players including Garry Tallent of the E-Street Band, the late Roy Huskey, Jr., Bruce Bouton, Billy Bremner, Nanette Britt and more.

          Album Description

          The first CD from D.C.'s contrarian pioneers sounded out of step in the grunge-laden wilds of 1994, but now sounds like the beginning of something else entirely. A potent capsule of postmodern anti-nostalgia, Look What's Left glorified the charms of '60s melodicism at the height of grunge. It recalled the literate, soul-inflected pathos of the Byrds at the zenith of a renaissance in neo-garage rock. It's a delectable confection. Have a taste.
